This bill establishes a civil cause of action in Minnesota for the nonconsensual removal of a condom during sexual activity, defining it as a form of sexual battery. It introduces new legal language under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 604, specifically section 604.33, which outlines definitions related to the act, including what constitutes a condom, intimate parts, and sexual battery. The bill specifies that a person who commits sexual battery by removing a condom without consent is liable for damages, which may include general, special, and punitive damages, as well as a civil penalty of up to $10,000, equitable relief, and reasonable attorney fees.

Additionally, the bill ensures the confidentiality of plaintiffs by allowing for confidential filings in cases related to this cause of action. The provisions of this bill will take effect on August 1, 2025, and will apply to any causes of action that accrue on or after that date. This legislation aims to provide legal recourse for individuals affected by this violation of consent, thereby enhancing protections for personal autonomy in sexual encounters.
